KINSHASA, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Congo's President Joseph Kabila won a presidential run-off with 58.05 percent of votes against 41.95 percent for Vice-President Jean-Pierre Bemba, electoral commission chief Apollinaire Malu Malu said on Wednesday.

The provisional result, already contested by the former rebel leader Bemba, must still be confirmed by the Supreme Court. The Oct. 29 vote was the culmination of a peace process to end a devastating 1998-2003 war.
